TransXChange is a UK national XML based data standard for the interchange of bus route and timetable information between bus operators, the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency, local authorities and passenger transport executives, and others involved in the provision of passenger information.
TransXChange is supported by all main UK suppliers of bus timetable systems and has also been used to exchange data for metro and other modes.
TransXChange provides a rich model based representation of a bus timetable that can be used for a wide variety of purposes.
Addition modules are envisaged to cover ticketing and fares through the proposed FareXChange standard.
TransXChange can also be used for other modes of transport - it is already used for metro and tram systems, route and timetable data.
